Apps Introduction & Direction

[Phil_Prentice]

Hello All,

My name is Phil and I'm very new to Android development. I'm currently working at Intel as a computer engineer so I would say I'm somewhat technically inclined, although I feel lost when it comes to application development. What brings me here is I'm hoping to get some advice and direction on where to begin.

I'm looking to create a very simple application which will be used to keep track of the number of games won for each player for a billiards match. Typically, for a tournament the match length is a race to 9. This means that the first player to win 9 games will win the match. I'd like to create an application where it lists the Players Name, each players current score, and some +/- buttons to increment games won. This application will be used during tournament play and I'd like to be able to have the scores uploaded so they can be viewed live via a website.

Are there any sample apps out there that I can look into that would help me get started? Any suggestions on where to being would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Phil

If you are good at learning from examples, a great place to start for Android development is located right in the android-sdk. See image below:



There are lots of ways to accomplish what you would like but if I come across a good sample of client/server api that is a basic solution for what you need... I will be sure to post!

Oh!... and welcome to AndroidForums.com!!
